Composite Columns in Tall Buildings

CBM Engineers - Houston

• Four super-columns tied by 5-story Virendeel trusses provide all the lateral resistance to the Norwest Center in Minneapolis

• Speed of construction = gravity load system followed by lateral load system and building finishes

• Concrete in columns used mostly for stiffness

Uses for Composite Columns

• Extra capacity in concrete column for no increase in dimension

• Large unbraced lengths in tall open spaces– Lower story in high rise buildings– Airport terminals, convention centers

• Corrosion, fireproof protection in steel buildings

• Composite frame – high rise construction• Transition column between steel, concrete

systems• Toughness, redundancy as for blast, impact

(from Larry Griffis)

Applications around the world

Full-scale 3stor, 3-bay braced frame tested in Taiwan

Applications around the world

Rectangular or circular composite columns with external diaphragms

Transition Floors

From concrete walls and columns to steel columns

S.D. Lindsey & Assoc.

Composite or hybrid system (concrete & steel)System which combines the advantages of concrete and structural steel

Concrete* Rigid * Economic* Fire resistant * Durable

Structural steel* High strength * Ductile* Easy to assemble * Fast to erect

Frames with CFT columns• Steel tube confines concrete• Concrete restricts the local buckling of the steel tube• Increase in strength & deformation of the concrete • Delay in the global buckling of the steel tube

Frames with SRC columns• Steel element supports the construction loads• The concrete gives final stiffness and fire resistant• Shear connections become FR once concrete is cast• System fast to erect & build • Redundancy & robustness

Design Methods Encased Composite Beam Columns

• Method 1: AISC Interaction Equations

• Method 2: Plastic Stress Distribution Method

• Method 3: Strain Compatibility Method(like ACI Column Design)

Encased Composite Beam ColumnsMethod 1 (Interaction Eq’s)

• Uses AISC Beam Column Interaction Eq’s• Strong and Weak Axis Bending• Requires only pure axial, pure moment

capacities (Po, Mn)• Conservative designs• Can use existing Design Guide 6

(conservative answers)

AISC Interaction Equations• For Pr /Pc ≥ 0.2,

– Pr /Pc + 8/9 (Mrx / Mcx + Mry / Mcy) ≤ 1.0

• For Pr /Pc < 0.2,– Pr /(2Pc) + (Mrx / Mcx + Mry / Mcy) ≤ 1.0

• Pr = required axial compressive strength• Pc = available axial compressive strength (φcPn or Pn/Ωc)• Mr = required flexural strength• Mc = available flexural strength (φbMn or Mn/Ωb)• φc = φb = 0.9

Encased Composite Beam ColumnsMethod 2 (Plastic Stress Distr)

• Plastic Capacity Equations– Points A,B,C,D (plus E weak axis only)– Defined on the Example CD (w/ manual)

• Strong and weak axis bending• Bar placement must conform to equations• Apply slenderness effects to P,M values• More capacity than Method 1

Rigid-plastic & strain-compatibility methods

New Composite Column Procedures• Based on ultimate plastic capacity – simple plastic or

strain compatibility (mechanistic approach / EC4)• Provide transition from a RC to a composite column• Maintain current length effects approach– adjust EI

values• Improve reliability (from β = 2.4 to 2.7)• Relax local buckling - b/t < 56 (+20%); D/t < 121

(+50%)• Relax concrete material limits = 70 MPa• Relax steel material limits = 520 Mpa)• Provide better force transfer guidelines
